With the growth currently experienced in Karamoja’s tourism industry, the demand for qualified and experienced tour guides and hospitality staff is on the increase. The reality is that the industry is growing faster than the amount of trained and certified indigenous people.
The Karamoja Tourism Academy development programme aims at bridging this gap by training learners in the relevant skills as well as creating the opportunity to gain the necessary experience to enter the market as a qualified tour guides and hospitality staff.
We are honoured to announce that ViaVia Tourism Academy (VVTA) joins the Warrior Nomad Trail as development partner. VVTA therefore brings its global experience in vocational trainings in sustainable tourism development for Karamojaland in Northeastern Uganda.
We are excited to receive the first donation of clothing and equipment for hiking guides from Dutch hiking tour company Bergwandelen.com, expedition leader Jan Bakker and Royal Dutch Climbing and Mountaineering Association (NKBV).
We are proud to see our tour guides (Emmanuel, Peter, Brian and Thomas) being part of this milestone in professionalising Uganda’s tourism sector through government regulated licensing of tourist guides.
